The Character of Summit Park

Pratt, who built a toll road through the canyon in the mid-1800s. Founded around 1957 as a collection of summer cabins, it has grown into a neighborhood of mostly year-round homeowners, and alpine touches like its German-style street names, including Innsbruck Strasse and Saint Moritz Strasse, add to its old-world mountain charm.
Much of that character comes from the balance it strikes. Despite its wooded seclusion, Summit Park sits right along I-80, keeping both Park City and Salt Lake City within easy reach. It’s a community that feels tucked away in the mountains yet remains one of the most convenient, and affordable, entry points into the Park City area.
